<p>I’m torn between Brown and Columbia. I’m an international student intending to major in economics and am not able to visit the institutions.</p>
<p>Beyond the obvious differences such as NYC vs Rhode Island and Core vs Flexible Curriculum, what are the relative merits of each?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your replies.</p>

<p>initiative is a good thing.</p>
<p>I think you should post this on the columbia forum. There are more very well informed students/graduates there</p>
<p>hcvcops-- I take serious offense to that statement.</p>
<p>lgg-- check out my thread in the Featured Discussions section of the Brown site. It goes over in detail the Open Curriculum at Brown and how that’s not really a simple, obvious difference, but truly is a pervasive element of Brown culture and effects all other aspects of life here on campus.</p>
<p>It’s pretty hard to respond to, “sell me on your school”, it’d be much easier if you could talk more about your own desires, goals, wants, and needs and then I could address how Brown can or cannot address those.</p>
<p>Where?</p>
<p>Why did you apply to both of these schools?</p>
